§8.1(1)Οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος Κύριος, ¹καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγος ἰξευτοῦ·
Thus the Lord God showed me: and behold, a fowler's basket.
καὶ εἶπεν Τί οὺ βλέπεις, Ἀμώς; καὶ εἶπα Ἄγγος ἰξευτοῦ. §8.2καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἥκει τὸ πέρας ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ, οὐ προσθήσω ἔτι τοῦ παρελθεῖν αὐτόν. §8.3καὶ ὀλολύξει τὰ φατνώματα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, λέγει κύριος Κύριος· πολὺς ὁ πεπτωκὼς ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἐπιρρίψω σιωπήν. §8.4ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα οἱ ἐκτρίβοντες εἰς τὸ πρωὶ πένητα, καὶ καταδυναστεύοντες πτωχοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς,
And he said, "What do you see, Amos?" and I said, "A fowler's basket." And the Lord said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will no longer pass him by again." "And the paneled ceilings of the temple shall wail in that day," says the Lord God; "many shall be the fallen in every place; I will cast silence upon them." Hear this, you who crush the needy in the morning, and oppress the poor of the land, saying, "When will the new moon pass, that we may sell?
§8.5λέγοντες Πότε διελεύσεται ὁ μὴν καὶ ἐμπολήσομεν, καὶ τὰ σάββατα καὶ ἀνοίξομεν θησαυρὸν τοῦ ποιῆσαι μικρὸν μέτρον, καὶ τοῦ μεγαλῦναι στάθμιον καὶ ποιῆσαι ζυγὸν ἄδικον, §8.6τοῦ κτᾶσθαι ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ πτωχοὺς καὶ ταπεινὸν ἀντὶ ὑποδημάτων, καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς γενήματος ἐμπορευσόμεθα; §8.7ὀμνύει Κύριος κατὰ τῆς ὑπερηφανίας Ἰακώβ Εἰ ἐπιλησθήσεται εἰς νῖκος πάντα τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν,
And the Sabbath, that we may open our treasure, to make the measure small and the weight great, and to make an unjust balance, that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for sandals, and sell the refuse of every crop?" The Lord swears by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget all your deeds.
§8.8καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐ ταραχθήσεται ἡ γῆ, καὶ πενθήσει πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς συντέλεια, καὶ καταβήσεται ὡς ποταμὸς Αἰγύπτου.
Shall not the land be troubled for these things, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? And destruction shall rise up like a river, and sink like the river of Egypt.
§8.9καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, λέγει κύριος Κύριος, καὶ δύσεται ὁ ἥλιος μεσημβρίας. καὶ συσκοτάσει ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τὸ φῶς·
And it shall come to pass in that day," says the Lord God, "that the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall grow dark upon the earth in the daytime.
§8.10καὶ μεταστρέψω τὰς ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος, καὶ πάσας τὰς ᾠδὰς ὑμῶν εἰς θρῆνον, καὶ ἀναβιβῶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὀσφὺν σάκκον, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν φαλάκρωμα, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὸν ὡς πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ, καὶ τοὺς μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡμέραν ὀδύνης.
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for a beloved son, and those with him as a day of bitterness.
§8.11ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος. καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, οὐ λιμὸν ἄρτων οὐδὲ δίψαν ὕδατος, ἀλλὰ λιμὸν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι λόγον Κύριου·
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will send a famine upon the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.
§8.12καὶ σαλευθἡσονται ὕδατα τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἕως ἀνατολῶν περιδραμοῦνται ζητοῦντες τὸν λόγον Κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰρωσιν.
And the waters of the sea shall be shaken, and from the north to the east they shall run about, seeking the word of the Lord, and they shall by no means find it.
§8.13ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκλείψουσιν αἱ παρθένοι αἱ καλαὶ καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ἐν δίψει, §8.14οἱ ὀμνύοντες κατὰ τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ Σαμαρείας, καὶ οἱ λέγοντες Ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, Δάν, καὶ ζῇ ὁ θεός σου, δηρσάβεε. καὶ πεσοῦνται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστῶσιν ἔτι.
In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst, those who swear by the propitiation of Samaria, and who say, "As your god lives, O Dan!" and, "As your god lives, O Beersheba!" They shall fall and by no means rise again.
